The cold over the past months forced me photography-wise to mostly stick to whatever is there instead of taking pictures of people (frozen to icecubes), which I enjoy much more. However, sometimes taking pictures of whatever is there turns out to be great as well. I spent the weekend at home with the family and visited my mom at University Duisburg/Essen on monday. Besides watching her expertise on mini jobs and minimum wage at the conference she was attending, I had a nice view over the chimneys of the Ruhrpott from her office: This might be the beginning of a true romance with the city I was born in but have never seen since.
